1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
5 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
6 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
9 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
10 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
11 so you can go to hunt it out.
14 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
15 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
16 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
17 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
18 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
19 - Added italian translation of default error.
22 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
25 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
26 certain tests. No other changes.
29 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
30 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
31 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
33 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
35 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
37 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
41 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
42 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
43 questions or problems!
44 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
45 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
46 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
47 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
48 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
49 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
50 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
51 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
52 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
55 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
56 - documentation and test fixes
59 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
60 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
61 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
62 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
63 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
64 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
65 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
68 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
69 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
72 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
73 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
74 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
75 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
76 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
77 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
78 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
79 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
81 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
84 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
85 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
88 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
89 introduced by a change in December.
92 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
95 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
96 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
97 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
98 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
99 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
102 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
103 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
104 reported while installing.
105 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
106 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
107 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
108 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
109 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
110 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
111 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
112 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
113 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
114 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
115 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
116 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
117 - update copyright notices.
119 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
120 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
121 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
122 fails to install (sorry).
123 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
124 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
125 middleware deal with it.
127 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
128 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
129 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
130 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
131 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
132 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
133 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
134 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
135 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
137 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
138 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
139 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
140 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
141 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
142 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
143 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
144 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
145 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
146 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
148 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
149 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
150 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
151 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
155 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
156 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
157 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
158 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
159 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
160 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
164 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
165 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
166 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
168 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
169 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
170 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
172 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
173 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
174 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
175 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
177 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
178 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
179 - Various POD formating fixed.
180 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
181 accept and issues that might arise.
184 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
185 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
188 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
189 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
190 for internal methods:
192 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
193 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
194 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
196 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
197 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
198 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
199 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
201 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
202 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
203 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
205 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
206 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
207 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
208 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
209 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
211 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
212 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
213 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
214 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
215 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
216 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
217 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
218 cases to reflect this change.
220 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
221 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
222 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
223 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
224 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
225 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
226 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
227 those keys already exist). Keys added:
228 - plack.request.query
230 - plack.request.merged
231 - plack.request.http.body
232 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
233 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
234 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
235 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
236 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
237 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
238 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
239 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
240 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
241 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
242 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
243 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
244 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
245 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
246 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
247 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
248 is a scalar or arrayref.
249 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
250 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
252 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
253 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
254 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
256 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
257 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
258 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
259 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
260 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
261 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
262 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
263 a development setup (ether++)
265 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
266 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
267 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
268 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
269 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
270 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
271 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
272 case t/data_handler.t
274 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
275 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
276 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
277 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
278 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
281 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
282 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
283 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
284 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
286 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
288 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
292 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
293 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
294 this fixes all of them.
295 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
296 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
297 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
298 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
300 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
303 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
304 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
305 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
306 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
307 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
308 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
309 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
311 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
312 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
313 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
314 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
315 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
316 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
318 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
319 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
320 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
321 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
322 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
323 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
324 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
325 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
327 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
330 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
331 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
332 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
333 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
334 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
335 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
337 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
338 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
339 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
340 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
341 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
342 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
345 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
346 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
347 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
348 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
349 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
350 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
351 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
352 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
353 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
354 in behavior is compatible on its own.
355 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
356 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
357 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
358 - Some test and documentation improvements
360 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
361 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
362 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
363 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
366 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
367 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
370 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
371 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
373 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
374 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
376 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
378 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
379 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
381 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
383 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
384 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
385 of request or response classes.
387 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
388 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
389 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
390 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
391 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
392 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
393 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
394 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
395 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
396 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
398 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
399 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
400 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
401 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
402 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
404 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
406 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
407 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
409 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
411 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
412 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
413 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
416 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
419 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
422 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
423 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
425 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
428 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
431 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
433 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
435 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
437 Distribution META.yml changes:
438 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
439 mis-parses from the documentation.
440 - x_authority key added.
443 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
444 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
446 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
447 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
448 is less than helpful.
450 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
451 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
452 in bleadperl. RT#76437
454 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
455 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
458 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
459 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
461 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
462 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
463 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
465 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
468 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
469 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
470 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
471 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
472 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
473 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
475 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
477 - --background option for the server script now only closes
478 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
479 and other loggers which open a file handle when
480 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
481 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
482 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
485 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
488 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
489 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
490 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
491 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
493 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
496 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
499 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
500 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
501 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
502 included when not running from a checkout.
504 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
506 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
507 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
508 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
510 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
512 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
514 New features and refactoring:
515 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
516 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
517 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
519 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
520 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
521 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
524 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
525 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
526 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
528 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
530 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
531 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
532 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
533 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
534 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
535 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
537 Back compatibility fixes:
538 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
539 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
540 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
543 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
546 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
547 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
548 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
550 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
551 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
552 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
554 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
557 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
558 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
559 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
560 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
561 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
564 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
565 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
567 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
568 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
569 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
571 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
574 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
575 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
576 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
577 get them passed through to the application.
580 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
581 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
582 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
583 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
586 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
587 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
588 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
589 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
591 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
592 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
593 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
595 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
596 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
598 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
602 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
603 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
604 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
605 whereas before you had to say:
606 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
607 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
608 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
611 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
612 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
613 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
614 scripts in the application.
615 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
616 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
617 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
622 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
624 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
625 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
626 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
627 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
628 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
629 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
630 and provide an alternative.
632 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
636 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
639 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
642 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
644 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
645 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
646 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
647 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
648 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
649 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
653 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
654 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
656 Backward compatibility fixes:
658 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
659 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
663 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
664 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
666 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
668 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
670 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
671 Backward compatibility fixes:
673 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
674 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
676 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
680 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
681 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
682 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
684 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
686 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
687 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
689 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
693 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
695 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
697 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
699 Backward compatibility fixes:
701 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
703 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
704 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
705 for backward compatibility.
709 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
710 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
714 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
715 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
716 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
718 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
720 Backward compatibility fixes:
722 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
723 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
727 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
730 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
731 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
732 example) Coro is loaded.
734 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
735 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
737 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
738 using MooseX::Deamonize
740 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
741 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
742 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
743 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
744 deployed in these environments.
748 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
752 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
753 file for your application.
755 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
759 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
760 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
762 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
765 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
766 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
768 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
770 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
771 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
773 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
774 IO::Handle's behaviour.
776 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
777 was not breaking out correctly
779 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
780 to also work in the $c->component method.
782 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
783 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
784 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
786 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
788 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
790 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
792 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
793 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
796 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
798 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
801 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
805 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
806 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
807 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
809 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
812 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
814 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
815 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
816 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
818 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
821 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
822 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
823 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
824 the new major version of Catalyst.
827 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
828 of Catalyst has been much improved.
830 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
833 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
834 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
835 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
837 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
839 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
840 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
841 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
843 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
846 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
847 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
848 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
850 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
851 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
855 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
856 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
858 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
859 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
860 developers without changing their application code.
862 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
865 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
866 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
867 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
868 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
869 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
871 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
872 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
874 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
876 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
880 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
881 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
882 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
883 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
884 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
885 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
886 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
888 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
889 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
890 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
891 class, please tell us *now*.
893 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
896 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
898 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
899 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
900 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
901 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
902 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
903 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
906 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
907 the Content-Length header appropriately)
908 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
909 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
910 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
911 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
912 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
913 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
915 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
916 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
917 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
918 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
919 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
920 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
921 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
922 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
925 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
926 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
928 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
931 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
932 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
936 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
937 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
939 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
942 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
944 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
945 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
947 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
949 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
952 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
954 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
957 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
958 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
959 load Utils before MyApp.pm
961 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
964 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
966 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
967 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
968 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
969 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
970 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
972 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
975 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
976 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
977 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
980 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
981 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
986 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
989 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
992 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
993 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
994 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
995 the default action creation.
998 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
999 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1000 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1001 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1002 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1003 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1004 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1007 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1009 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1011 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1013 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1016 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1017 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1018 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1019 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1020 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1023 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1024 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1027 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1028 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1029 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1030 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1032 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1035 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1036 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1037 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1038 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1039 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1040 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1041 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1042 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1045 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1046 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1047 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1049 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1050 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1051 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1052 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1055 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1056 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1059 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1060 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1063 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1066 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1067 the content type and content length if available.
1069 Refactoring / optimizations:
1070 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1071 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1072 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1073 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1074 screen as easy to write.
1075 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1076 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1077 in parameter filtering (for example).
1078 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1079 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1080 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1081 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1082 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1085 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1086 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1087 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1088 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1090 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1093 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1094 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1096 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1099 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1100 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1102 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1105 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1106 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1107 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1108 which should not be encoded.
1109 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1110 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1112 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1113 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1114 any set of args/captures.
1116 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1117 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1119 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1123 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1125 - Various minor typo fixes.
1128 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1130 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1133 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1134 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1135 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1138 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1139 - Clarify documentation about debug
1142 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1143 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1144 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1146 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1149 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1150 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1154 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1155 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1157 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1158 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1159 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1160 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1161 argv key in the options hash.
1162 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1163 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1164 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1165 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1167 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1171 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1172 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1173 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1174 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1175 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1177 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1181 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1182 encoding test controller.
1184 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1186 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1187 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1189 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1191 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1192 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1193 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1194 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1195 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1197 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1201 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1202 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1203 less packed with information of no use.
1207 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1209 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1211 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1212 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1213 the single character '0'.
1214 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1217 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1218 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1219 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1221 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1223 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1224 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1225 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1226 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1227 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1228 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1229 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1230 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1231 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1232 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1233 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1234 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1236 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1237 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1239 Refactoring / cleanups:
1240 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1241 (and then skipped) normally.
1244 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1246 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1249 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1250 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1251 on the old behaviour.
1253 Refactoring / cleanups:
1254 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1255 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1257 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1260 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1261 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1262 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1263 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1264 as there is no recommended alternative.
1265 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1266 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1267 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1268 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1269 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1270 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1271 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1272 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1273 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1274 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1275 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1276 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1277 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1278 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1281 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1282 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1283 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1284 deprecated and causes warnings).
1285 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1286 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1287 in the correct order.
1288 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1290 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1291 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1292 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1295 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1296 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1297 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1298 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1299 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1301 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1302 exception classes need to implement.
1303 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1304 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1307 Refactoring / cleanups:
1308 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1309 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1310 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1311 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1312 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1313 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1314 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1316 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1319 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1320 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1321 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1322 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1324 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1325 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1326 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1329 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1330 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1333 Refactoring / cleanups:
1334 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1335 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1336 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1337 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1338 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1340 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1343 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1344 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1345 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1346 now loaded at most once + tests.
1347 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1348 is returned to 'actions'.
1349 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1350 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1352 Refactoring / cleanups:
1353 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1354 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1357 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1358 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1359 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1361 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1364 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1365 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1368 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1371 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1372 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1373 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1375 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1378 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1379 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1380 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1382 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1385 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1386 application class immutable without that option.
1387 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1388 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1390 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1391 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1392 (hopefully) future versions.
1393 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1394 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1395 variables (RT#48555)
1396 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1398 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1399 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1400 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1401 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1402 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1404 Refactoring / cleanups:
1405 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1406 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1407 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1408 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1409 known issues with 5.8.3.
1410 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1411 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1414 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1415 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1416 for the controller namespace
1417 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1418 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1419 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1420 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1421 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1422 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1424 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1425 frontend port (jshirley)
1426 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1430 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1431 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1432 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1433 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1436 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1439 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1440 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1441 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1443 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1444 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1445 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1446 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1447 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1448 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1452 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1453 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1454 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1457 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1460 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1461 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1463 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1464 in some environments.
1465 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1466 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1467 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1468 except works correctly with closures.
1469 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1470 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1471 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1472 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1473 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1474 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1475 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1478 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1479 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1480 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1481 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1482 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1483 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1485 Refactoring / cleanups:
1486 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1487 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1488 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1489 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1491 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1492 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1493 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1495 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1496 again in Catalyst::Test
1498 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1501 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1502 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1505 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1508 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1509 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1510 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1512 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1515 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1516 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1519 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1520 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1524 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1525 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1526 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1527 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1528 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1530 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1531 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1532 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1533 controller naming. (random)
1534 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1535 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1536 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1537 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1538 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1540 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1542 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1543 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1544 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1546 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1547 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1548 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1549 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1550 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1551 to report 'Unknown Error'
1552 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1553 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1554 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1555 parse_on_demand is on
1557 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1558 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1559 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1560 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1561 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1562 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1563 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1564 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1565 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1567 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1568 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1569 Test::Aggregate is available.
1570 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1571 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1572 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1573 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1574 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1575 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1576 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1577 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1582 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1583 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1584 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1585 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1586 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1587 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1588 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1591 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1592 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1593 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1594 configuration in your application.
1596 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1597 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1598 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1600 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1601 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1603 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1604 has been made private
1605 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1606 the request parameters with undef + test
1607 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1608 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1610 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1612 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1613 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1614 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1616 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1617 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1618 warning on recent Moose versions.
1619 - Add delta documentation
1620 - Clean up recursion errors
1621 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1622 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1624 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1625 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1627 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1628 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1629 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1630 tries to chain to itself
1632 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1633 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1634 - Tests for this (radek)
1635 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1636 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1637 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1638 - Tests for this (radek)
1639 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1640 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1641 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1642 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1644 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1645 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1647 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1649 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1650 in production versions
1651 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1652 the correct metaclass
1653 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1654 the restarter process
1655 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1656 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1658 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1659 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1660 immutable restart correctly.
1662 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1663 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1664 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1665 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1666 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1667 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1668 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1669 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1670 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1671 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1672 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1673 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1674 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1675 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1676 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1677 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1678 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1679 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1680 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1681 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1682 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1684 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1685 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1686 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1689 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1690 - Add uri_with tests

1701 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1703 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1704 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1705 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1708 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1712 - Add docs for finalize hook (dhoss)
1713 - Added ru/ua translations to error page
1714 - Improve the clarity and verbosity of the warning when component
1715 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
1716 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
1717 keep-alive requests.
1718 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1719 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1720 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1721 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1723 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1724 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1725 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1726 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
